Peugeot 207 - Water pumping from engine block - lmwnyc

Hi,

Been slowly losing water/coolant from the car for a short while. Engine heat gage doesn't change. No mayo under the oil cap. A closer look, and i see water pumping out of the right side of the front of the engine block when the engine is running. Can't see if it's from the gasket but does look lower than that. Water seems to be clear.

Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.

Cheers

Sounds like a hose or connector on the coolant system has failed. I'd suggest phoning a garage, and seeing if they can pressure test the cooling system, to try to isolate the fault.

'pumping out' ? How much?
